Prerequisites

Before starting, let’s make sure you have everything you need. First, ensure your phone is carrier unlocked, or these steps won’t work. If your phone is locked to a carrier, you won’t be able to unlock the bootloader and complete the rooting process.

Here’s what you’ll need:

Rooting OnePlus Nord N100 Using Magisk

If you’ve never rooted a phone before, this might feel a bit technical, but don’t worry! Just follow these steps closely, and you’ll be fine. It’s not as scary as it sounds. Let’s get started by installing the necessary drivers and getting your phone ready.

  1. Install OnePlus Drivers: To connect your OnePlus Nord N100 to your computer, first install the OnePlus USB Drivers.
  2. Enable Developer Options: On your phone, go to Settings > About Phone, and tap Build Number seven times. You’ll see a message saying you’re now a developer.
  3. Enable USB Debugging: Now that developer options are turned on, go to Settings > Developer Options and turn on USB Debugging.
  4. Download the Latest Firmware: You’ll need the latest firmware to root the phone. Download the latest firmware and save it on your PC.

Flashing Patched Boot Image for Root Access

Now that you’ve got the boot.img file, it’s time to patch it using Magisk and flash it onto your phone. Let’s go step-by-step.

  1. Install Magisk: Transfer the Magisk APK to your phone and install it.
  2. Patch boot.img: Open the Magisk app, tap Install, and then choose Select and Patch a File. Select the boot.img file that you extracted earlier, and Magisk will patch it for you.
  3. Copy Patched boot.img to PC: Once the boot.img is patched, copy it back to your PC from your phone.
  4. Install Android SDK Platform Tools: Download and extract the Android SDK Platform Tools to a folder on your PC (e.g., C:\adb).
  5. Reboot to Fastboot Mode: Connect your phone to the PC, then open a command prompt in the platform-tools folder and type: 
    adb reboot bootloader

    Your phone will reboot into fastboot mode.

  6. Flash Patched boot.img: Run the following command to flash the patched boot.img: 
    fastboot flash boot magisk_patched-XXXXX.img
  7. Reboot Your Phone: Once the flash is complete, reboot your phone using: 
    fastboot reboot

Verify Root Access

After your phone restarts, you’ll want to confirm that everything worked and your phone is now rooted.

  1. Open Magisk: Once your phone has rebooted, open the Magisk app. It should show that the phone is rooted and Magisk is installed.
  2. Use a Root Checker App: You can also download a root checker app from the Play Store to double-check that your device is rooted successfully.

And there you go! You’ve just rooted your OnePlus Nord N100. It might have seemed like a lot of steps, but once you see that everything works, you’ll know it was worth it. Now your phone is set up for all sorts of advanced features and control.
